Sell-out crowds and recording-setting performances, this is women’s NCAA basketball

Women’s basketball and teams set a slew of records.

For another straight game, there was a sell-out crowd in women’s March Madness. The 2023 Final Four games set records in viewership and recorded sell-out crowds, and the national championship game did it again.

While the viewership numbers have yet to be announced, the attendance set a record. Not only was it a sellout crowd for the LSU and Iowa matchup, at 19,482, but it set a Women’s March Madness all-time attendance record with 357,542 fans.

The fans, however, weren’t the only ones breaking records as both teams set their own personal, team, and school records.

LSU’s Angel Reese recorded the most double-doubles in a single season with 34, breaking her own previous record of 33. She finished the game with 10 rebounds and 15 points. LSU walked away with the win which is the first basketball national championship, men’s or women’s for the program. Additionally their 102-85 victory is the most points scored in a women’s championship game

Iowa’s Caitlin Clark was 50% from the three-point line with six made three-pointers in the first half. She broke the single-tournament record for most 3-pointers made with 32 and the single-tournament record for most points scored with 191 points, beating the previous points record set by Sheryl Swoopes.
